The article deals with risk analysis of road tunnels using state of the art PIARC - OECD methodology and points out its limitations. It has been shown how to upgrade the methodology by combining it with modelling and simulationg critical accident scenarios in road tunnels. This way specific risk reduction measures, which are not included in the methodology can be assessed and used to additionally minimize risk of accidents involving large number of fatalities.

The article deals with establishment of performance-based fire safety. Cruical tool to achieve this are computer simulations whose results are greatly influenced by the input data which have to represent realistic scenarios. Considering stochastic nature of fires, input data have to be statistically validated. By doing this, greater reliability of the results can be achieved.
